Thursday, July 4 at 7:30 PM, Filmtheater De Witt continues the monthly screening for non-Dutch speaking audiences.
We screen either an English spoken movie or one with English subtitles. With a brief introduction about the movie, its making and other fun facts by cinema-owner Geert ter Steeg.
With Drive-Away Dolls one of the celebrated Coen Brothers makes its presence felt again. Ethan Coen wrote and directed this mix of queer road movie and crime comedy. You will recognize elements (and certainly the dry humor) from Coen Brothers films, but there is also much else….
We are introduced to two antipodes. Jamie (Margaret Qualley) is an open-minded free spirit, lamenting yet another relationship breakup with a girlfriend. Marian (Geraldine Viswanathan) is her much more reserved friend, who needs to loosen up. Looking for a fresh start, the two girlfriends embark on an impromptu road trip. They need to take a rental car to Tallahassee. But things soon go awry when they encounter a group of bumbling criminals along the way.
As amusing as the movie is, there is an undercurrent that makes it clear that gender equality is still something to be fought for.
Regular tickets cost € 14,50. Cineville pass and Strippenkaart/FilmCredit are valid (with a supplement for the drink).
If you like to have dinner before the movie, you can buy the combiticket Film + Main course. We will arrange a table after booking and make sure that your dinner is served on time. Please arrive no later than 6:00 PM. Choose your ticket via the Tijden & Tickets button.
